• Found a bug I think

    From Jeff Earle@1:229/700 to g00r00 on Tuesday, April 06, 2021 13:48:42
    Fidopoll seems to abort when polling multiple hubs and receives mail on the
    1st or 2nd one.

    What I am seeing:
    Run Fidopoll and poll all hubs
    Connects to 1st (Primary) and downloads mail (I think it creates the
    semaphore here that there is mail to import)
    Closes connection to 1st and then polls 2nd. Mail or no mail received
    Closes 2nd and polls 3rd. Receiving mail. In the server screen I see that
    Toss Incoming Mail event has started. Seems to be waiting but may not be as I have some other things run from a batch file before mutil actually imports. Closes 3rd, Toss event keeps running and all the rest of the Polls are
    skipped.

    The rest of the polls have to wait for the next Poll event to run. And if any mail is received by any of the hubs, the remaining Polls are skipped. Worst case scenario, the last 1 or 2 or 3 polls never complete as mail is received
    on the 1st 2 or 3 polls and Fidopoll aborts.

    I know I could setup individual events for each network but I would rather
    get all mail from all hubs at 1 time.

    Even if it was just 2 hubs and the primary is very high volume the Toss Incoming event would start before it finished the 1st poll and abort the 2nd.

    Anyway, just wanted to bring it up.

    Fidopoll was removed from Mystic I think about 1.5 years ago, so you should be using "mis poll" instead.

    If you have any issues with that let me know, but FidoPoll is not supported or guarenteed to work with later versions.

    Did not know that as it came with the install. Thanks for the info. That
    would explain things

    Thanks

    I think I still included in in A46 builds because the replacement was still new and there are a lot of old tutorials that show fidopoll. But for all of the A47 builds I believe it is removed (or should be).

    I have coverted over to mis using it instead of fidopoll in the events menu. Seem to be working better. I look forward to installing A47.

    might i recommend the event editor.. having it complain when it sees fidopoll from now on :)
